Designers offer many different ways to “mask” the dual functional purpose of the living room, it remains only to choose the one that suits you.
A curtain
The easiest way to separate the berth is with a curtain. This is not ideal - because the area of the room is significantly reduced, but the bed precisely hidden from prying eyes.
Panels
Build a special niche for a bed from the sliding partitions. During the day they slide in, and the hidden bed does not bother anyone, and at night the panels can be moved apart, increasing the volume of the “bedroom”.
Folding sofa bed
An interesting version of the living room equipment combined with the bedroom is the replacement of the bed with a sofa bed, which can be folded into a full sleeping place. This allows you to hide the bed and at the same time have a comfortable seat in the room.
It is easy to choose a sofa bed for any interior, as they come in different shapes and sizes: from standard rectangular to huge round ones.
Transformation
For small apartments, special transforming furniture is produced. It allows you to use the same item in different situations.
For example, a large dining table hides a hidden bed - just lay it out in a special way. A small daybed can become a desktop. Such “transformers” save both money and space.
Podium
A hidden bed can be arranged on the podium - this is the best option in cases where the same room serves both the living room, bedroom, study, children's room and even the gym.
Using the podium, the room can be divided into two zones, one of which can be a study, and the other - a living room. The bed mounted in the podium moves out to its “workplace” for the night, and it is impossible to detect its presence during the day.
Cupboard
In the closet you can arrange a hidden bed in such a way that no one will guess that this room is a bedroom at night. The simplest option is a regular wardrobe, the doors of which hide the bed.
A more complex option is a transforming bed, which in an upright position forms a cabinet wall. Raising and lowering such a bed is easy using a special mechanism.
Ceiling
One of the most original ways to hide a bed in a common room is to drive it ... onto the ceiling! Of course, in houses with low ceilings, such a decision would be justified only in the children's room, because children really like to hide in secluded corners, and such an “attic” will be very cozy for them.
Adults will also be comfortable if they equip a niche on the “second floor” with lighting for evening reading and a socket for chargers.
Another “ceiling” option is a suspension bed. To lower such a hidden bed, it is enough to press the button of a special mechanism. The obvious minus of the ceiling structures is the inability to lie down and relax in the middle of the day, each time you will first have to bring the bed to its working position.
Lounge
Arrange a lounge zone in the house. To do this, build a low podium bowl, in the recess of which lay a mattress. The main condition is that he should not protrude above the podium. This is a hidden bed, which can serve as a resting place during the day, and sleep at night.
Mattress
The simplest, but rather comfortable sleeping place is a Japanese mattress called “futon”.Due to the lack of space in Japanese houses, it is not customary to put large beds, sleeping places are ordinary mattresses, which are spread out in a suitable place for the night and cleaned in a closet during the day. Similar mattresses of any size can be bought at the store.
